Geobukseon-What was it, and was it the first armored battleship?

Today we are taking a look at the Geobukseon and looking into what exactly the ship was , where it came from and also whether the calm of the first armored battleship is true.

The way I see it, it was "armored" regardless of whether the top was iron or not.
If a major design element of your ship is purely dedicated to function as a shield against projectiles (rather than the structural integrity of the ship), then that's armor, regardless of whether its iron or wood.

Jeoson is pronounced "Cho-seon" not "heo-seon." In korean, J and CH are the same letter, and are pronounced more like one or the other depending on the letters around them, as "juh" and "chuh" are said with the mouth in the relatively same position. H is an entirely different letter, and has nothing to do with J in the Far East. Also, "Geobuksan" is three syllables, not four. "eo" is a single letter in korean, representing a sound that is halfway between "aw" and "oh" -- basically a different version of the letter O: the O in "hot" as opposed to the O in "boat." So the turtle ship is pronounced more like "Goh-buk-san", not "Gee-oh-buk-san." Any time you see "eo" in romanized korean, it will be one syllable. "Silla" is pronounced "Shilla" because in this language, when the letter S is next to the letter I, there is always a "sh" sound. There is never a word in Korea where "si" happens without transforming to "shi."

You can read the pronunciation as it is written in Joseon, not Hoseon.

And geo is close to keo (ku), not jio. You can read it like the 'gu' part of 'Gundam'.
